The Luck of the Irish

Do you ever have the feeling that something might happen today that will prevent you from doing what you have planned. Well with my due date just around the corner I feel like it might be any day now. I would have been so disappointed (a little bit that is) if I did not find time to make this recipe.

Even though I am not Irish growing up in a town that is very Irish you sort of feel the need to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I even make Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner which my husband expects now from me. He requested I make a lot this year so he can have the leftovers for lunch.

I was super excited when on the Baker's Banter there was a post for Irish Soda Bread Muffins. What a great idea instead of buying/making one giant loaf just make them in a mini form...easier to share.


Review: I highly recommend visiting the KAF blog and making this recipe yourself if you are a fan of Irish Soda Bread. It was so easy to mix everything together and bake. I used sour cream and raisins in the recipe. I was going to make my own buttermilk because I couldn't find any in the market but decided to just go with the sour cream instead. For budget reason I did not get currants because they were so much more expensive then the raisins which I know my son would eat what was leftover. I totally forgot to buy caraway seeds but I thought the muffins came out wonderful without it.
